Capt. Edward Stinson of Woolwich lost
valuable carriage horse by death Wednesday
afternoon. Capt. Stinson was on his way to
Bath, when the horse was taken sick on the
ferry boat, falling in its tracks. The horse
gradually became worse and died after con.
siderable suffering. Mr.. Stinson valued the
horse at 5000.
The free postal delivery system went into
operation in Bath Friday.

Important Political Skirmish.

The friends of Mr.. James G. Blaine,
according to newspaper report, have
lately been canvassing the prospects Of
that gentleman for denomination to the
Presidency. Thile the result has been
disappointing it has not been dis
couraging. That is, there is not that
unanimi;y of sentiment in favor of the
Plumed Knight that was expected,
while the opposition is not so formida-
BILE that it may not be overcome by
good management.
The newspaper which gives the in
formation is proverbially Inaccurate.
but it DOESN'T hesitate to give details
for what they are worth. Ohio is for
Sherman, Indiana for some one
else, Illinois Indifferent, Pennsyl-
vania non-committal. New Eng
land divided, the South susceptible
and the West willing to be seen. These
suggestions are Il little indefinite and
for that reason wanting in value, but il
they correctly represent the sentiment
of the locality may be accepted as in
dicating that MIR. Blaine is really out
of politics.
But the fact that the canvass is in
progress stands us contradiction of
Mr.. Blaine that he is not aspiring to
lead the party in another contest. The
tattooed warrior is nothing if not adroit,
and he would not be likely to leopard
ize his future by entering Il hopeless
contest for place he didn't want un-
der any circumstances. The truth is
that the canvass which has been
made, if it has been made, Is
simply the prelude to an active and
energetic campaign which Blaine pro-
poses to enter against Sherman, Haw-
ley, and all the other aspirants for tie
Republican nomination. - Harrisburg

1t is only just to say this Congress
had no scandal TO blush for. And then
its acts of wise and bencficent legisla-
ton are numerous. Seldom has any Con-
gress achieved so much. The passage
of the Presidential Succession bill fol-
lowed by that OF the Eiectoral-Count
bill remedies defects in National legis-
lafiOn that were almost as old as the
Government, and removes a source of
uncertainty that has more than once
menaeed the weli-bcing of the country.
Following these measures is the re-
peal of the Tenure-of-O Office act By
this repeal there is restored to the
President the full exercise of executive
by the constitution, and which were
curtailed at a time when it was as
sumed that the incumbent of the Ex-
ecutive chair was plotting serious mis-
chief under most critical circuni-
stances. The bill should never have
been passed in the first place; it was a
usurpation of executive duties by Con-
gress, and Involved clear trespass
upon the Presidents constitutional
rights. These three measures together
will stand out as the most conspicuous
and important of the acts of the Forty
ninth Congress, second in importance
to no acts of Congress since the era of
war and reconstruction legislation

An Indignant "Republican."

These who found fault with President
Cleveland for not selecting for Recorder
of Deeds of the District of Columbia 4
resident o. the district should poRder
over the sound remarks of the Wash
ington Republican organ, the National
Republican, on the question. The
National Democratic convention did
not include the District of Columbia
when it recommended the appoint
ment of residents to offices in the Ter
rltorics, since the district is not Ter
ritory, but Il body corporate for mu-
nicipal purposes. The Democratic
platform did not adopt any plank
promising home rule to the District OF
Columbia The Republican says:
When Congress became responsible for the
debt OF the district il changed :he form q gov.
eminent and placed the control OF all the dis
trict offices in the President subject - con-
frmatioa by the Senate. forming a. board Of
commissioners clothed with all legislative
power to itself, and denying the people repre-
sentation or a voice in the selection OF theii
rulers. The Ndtioadl Repablic1g believes IL
home rule, advocates home rule. and that taxa
ton and representation should so hand and
hand, hut that does not change the facts as 70
our present condition. nor justify the personal
abuse heaped upon the President of the United
States by some OF our contemporaries. Polit-
icauy We are opposed TO the President In
many thiags he mas demonstrated deep polit
ical sagacity and in none more so than in his
persistent efforts TO induce colored voters in
doubtful States OF the North to look upon him
as their political friend and leader.
The confirmation of Mr.. Trotter
showed how little regard the Republi-
cans of the Senate had for the ..home
rule" plea And yet it showed their
Inconsistency. Mr.. Matthews was re-
jected because he was a cOlored Dem
ocrat; Mr.. Trotter is confirmed
although he is a colored Democrat.
There was no other objection against
either.-Albany argus.

REPUBLICAN "FiGURERS."

An Interesting Speculation Regarding an
Understanding between the Senator
from Ohio and the "Statssman from
Maine.
1t would be interesting to know ex-
actly what the understanding is be-
tween Mr.. Blaine and Senator Sher-
men concerning the Republican nomi-
nation in 1888. That these distin-
guished Republican leaders have Of
late, through their friends. made a
truce there is little doubt. Before Gen.
eral Logan passed away it was COM
monty believed that the Ohio states
nan hoped to win the nomination
through disagreements between the
head and tail of the old ticket. Death
swept away all calculations made on
that basis. and left Mr.. Blaine and MIR.
Sherman to fight it out alone.
Those who pretend to know affirm
that in case the Democrats renominate
President Cleveland, Mr.. Blaine will
desire to once more try conclusions
with him at the polls. and that. in this
case, Mr.. Sherman will step aside and
permit the Maine statesman TO receive
unanimous denomination and hearty
support. On the other hand they
whisper confidentially that if Govern
or Hill should be the Democratic cam
didate Mr.. Blaine would realize the
-hopelc'sless of the contest, whereupon
Sherman would take the nomination,
hoping 10 win on the strength OF his
standing with the business interests of
the country.
Now this is very pretty story as it
stands, but it lacks plausibility. In the
first place, we do not believe that Mr.
Blaine has any hope of ever being able
to beat NJ. Cleveland. If the Presi-
dent has phenomenal strength any
where it is among the business
men. They have confidence in him
That feeling elected him two years
ago. Itwould elect him as against Mr..
B.aine in 1888. Moreover. the great
masses of the people look upon him as
Il conscientious, conservative man. Mr..
Blaine, on the other hand, has done
nothing to increase the confidence of
the business community, while the peo-
pie still feel. and probably always
will feel, that the plumed knight. how
ever brilliant, is unstable and erratic.
As for Mr.. Blaine's reputed dread of a
David B. Hill us competitor. that
may well be believed to be true. Gov
ernor Hill has all the popular qualities
of Mr.. Blaine, without any of the un-
fortunate drawbacks which brought
political ruin upon the magnetic states
man.

Republicans to Blame.

The Connecticut Democrats are try
ing to get submitted to the people an
amendment to the State constitution
providing that plurality instead of a
majority of the votes cast shall here
after be sufficient to elect State officers.
There is little reason to suppose that
the Legislature, which is Republican,
will consent to give the people of
Connecticut q chance to pronounce
against rule which works so beauti-
fully for the Republican party. The
rotten borough system of Connecticut
insures the Legislature to the Repub-
licans, and the requirement of a ma
jOrity to elect State officers leaves the
State election to be settled by the Leg
islature. The present Governor and
his predecessor were elected in this
way. 1t is the minority which wins in
Connecticut.
New Hampshire is another State
which requires a majority at State
elections. Both there and in Connect
lieut. the rule ought to be changed, and
ought to have been changed long ago.
Probably there is small hope of the
change. at least in Connecticut, at
present. The rotten borough system
must be smashed before the Republic
ans will give up their advantage.
They are less TO be blamed, after all,
than the Republicans of this State.
The Connecticut Republicans merely
refuse to alter and mOdcrnize the State
constitution. The New York Repub-
licanS fatty and perSisteatly refuse to
obey the constitution of New York.
What to them is obedience to the State
constitution compared with keeping
their grip on the Legislature? What
do they care if Democrats are de-
frauded of their rights? The Repub-
lean bank will hang on to the fraudu-
lent percentage in its favor.
The people of New York and Con-
necticut will sooner or later insist on
fair play.-N /. San.

Candidate for the Presidency
John Sherman is about to make tour
of the Southern States, and on the eve
of his departure he submitted to IL
newspaper interview. Judging by the
interview it is safe to conclude that he
intends to be something more than
passive candidate this time; something
more than ambitious for a nomination
to seek him. If the signs of the times
are safe to judge the future by, Shcr-
man will be just as enthusiastic in his
own behalf us any other man in the
